Enquiry minds want to know. :^) Cross country skiing and telemarking, although since they both require much more physical exertion, you are correct that they are not nearly as popular as their downhill relative. Alpine ("downhill") skiing and Nordic (x-country) are as different as flying fixed wing vs. helicopters. |

The FAA has been very clear that the so-called crisis is due to commitments
which greatly exceed projected growth in the trust fund. I have a serious funding shortfall. I just decided to take expensive vacations twice a week, buy a dozen residences in popular resorts and a nice jet to travel there. I need to have the government steal from others to take care of this funding crisis. Ron Lee |
